Cold-BlOoded Shooting.

DAYTON, o., May 31.-Dayton was in
tensely excited by the assassination to-
night of Fowler Stoddard, of the widely
known StOddard Manufacturing COM
pany, universally popular and
esteemed citizen. The tragedy is
inexplicable except upon the theory
that the victim was mistaken for an
other man with whom he was talk
ing at the time. One Chubb reg
istered as laborer, but an OBJ
jeet of police attention, deliberately
stepped up to Stoddard, who. was con-
versing with two ether citizens, and shot
him in the left ear, the ball lodging on
the right side of the head. Mr.. Stoddard
had no knowledge of the assassin. The
latter ran away, but was soon arrested
in an adjacent cellar, and
claimed that the shooting was
accidental. Witnesses testify to his
deliberate firing and fight. At mid
night Stoddard's mind was unsettled
and the surgeons appeared to think his
case was hopeless. Stoddard is rela-
tive of the Shermans.

THE MAY RECORD.
Standing of the Ball Teams After
a Months PLAY.

The Northwestern league teams have
now played a month. The weather has
generally been fine, and the crowds
at the games usually large. Very few
games have been postponed. St. Paul
and Minneapolis have tie game to play
off, Duluth and Des Moines had game
postponed on account of Axes death and
rain has prevented one game between
Duluth and Minneapolis, one between
st. Paul and Minneapolis, one between
Eau Claire and Duluth, one between
La Crosse and Milwaukee and one be-
tween Des Moines and La Crosse. Four
or five of the teams have shown them
selves to be very evenly matched, and
the contest promises to grow in inter-
est as the season advances. Milwaukee
now has quite an advantage, but the
team has played most of its games at
home. When it gets away from the
Cream City it will doubtless have hard
work to hold it's own. DeS MOineS has
won less games than Oshkosh, but the
former is III second place because of
having a better percentage. Since get
ting home the Duluth team is banging
the ball about in old-time fashion, and
the sports of the Zenith City are pre-
dieting that the pennant will remain at
the head of Lake Superior. The record
for the month is as followS:

REGULATING THE MEATHER.

The weather is out of joint. There is
no mistake about that. Everybody
feels it and everybody is talking about
1t. DIR. Deems made it the subject of a
pulpit discourse last Sunday, and at
tempted 10 prove that the late sectional
war was the result of climatic in
1iuences. CAMILLE FLAMMARioN, the
ingenious French scientist, has written
pamphlet on the diSjointed weather
we are having, and makes some slngu-
larry appropriate suggestions as to che
best method to ascertain the cause OF
all this mixed up weather. He does not
hold to the theory that it is the result of
the earth being on bad terms with the
sun, or that GOODNESS has sprung up
between our planet and Mars, OF Mer-
curry, or Venus. He takes no stock in
these interplanetary disturbances. He
thinks that each separate planet is re-
volving right along i'll its own
groove and attending to its own
business. FLAMMARIoN's theory is
that all this anomalous weather
results from the strained rela-
tons prevailing between the earth's
crust and the hot pot-pie OF lava inside.
SO confident is he of this fact that he
seriously suggests to BISMARCK and
BoULANGER that instead of setting their
French and German soldiers to killing
each other they could be employed i'll
the more profitable enterprise OF boring
a hole right down to the earth's center
in order to discover what is going on
down there. This is most sensible
suggestion, and ought to be adopted. Ii
the earth's geologic anatomy is diseased
it ought to be cured. There will be no
more weather that can be relied on until
it is done. If BISMARCK and BoU-
LANCER will undertake to dig hole to
the earths center America will under
take to finish the patent weather-regu-
lating machine to put down at the bot
tom of the hole. There is nothing ever
needed that American genius cannot
supply.

On the morning of the 18th of Novem-
Der last, at the close OF an exciting
gubernatorial election, an article ap-
peared i'll the columns of the GLOBE
charging Gov. JOHN S. PIILsBURT and
other prominent Republicans with
design to tamper with the ballot boxes
in the interest of the election of GOV.
MCGILL. This article got into the
paper by being presented late at night
after the editor-in-chief had left for his
bed, and only thus secured publication
from the difficulty of properly super
viSing all matter coming into the office
during the excitement of the political
campaign just then terminated.
Two days afterward the GLOBE re-
ferred to the matter. expressing regret
at its appearance, and stating that great
wrong had been done Gov. PLLSBURY
and theparties charged.
An action of libel was afterward
brought by Gov. PILLsBURY against the
GLOBE Publishing company i'll the dis
trict court of Hennepin county. This
action has been amicably and satisfac-
torily settled between the parties con-
cerned.
Believing that a most grevious wrong
and injustice was done Gov. PHLsBURY
and his associates in the publication of
said article, and moved by sense of
justice and an earnest desire to make
PREPARATION, SO far as possible, of said in
jury, we fully and completely and with
out reservation, retract each and every
charge and insinuation contained in
said article. We further state that such
charges and insinuationS had no found
alton in truth whatever, and cheerfully
make this retractiOn, as it is our wish to
do justice to those who have so I'M
Justly and without provocation been
mallgned in the publication referred to.
We do not suppose for moment that
the high character which Gov. PILLS
BURY has established in Minnesota and
elsewhere has suffered. He has been
too long and favOrabIy known for such
result. That he has enjoyed the rare
distinction of being thrice elected gov
ernor of the state is the highest evidence
OF the esteem in which he is held by his
fellow citizens. Yet we none the less
regret the publication of the article. as
the GLOBE endeavors to deal fairly and
Justly by all. That it failed in so doing
III the instance mentioned, was solely
owing to the absence of the editor-in-
chief of the paper.

AFTER THE BATTLE.
What the Feather-Weights Have
to Say.

The two Tommies, Warren and Dan
forth, each had slightly swollen and
discolored eye yesterday as memento
OF their fistic encounter of Monday
night. Danforth says: Il am glad
was knocked out, if 1 was to lose the
match. If either one of us should have
beSted the other only shade, or if
there had been draw, there would
have been higgling over the division of
the receipts yet. l think l was obliged
to train too hard to get under 12O
pounds, and this Overworked me, but L
lost the match fair enough and don't
kick.''
Warren remarked last night: ''Tm
Danforth's friend now that l have set
tied the dispute between us. l have
grown stronger and heavier since we
first met, when he weighed twelve
pounds more than 1. Twelve pounds
makes lots of difference. See? l am
ready to meet Weir, or any other man
who can come to feather-Weight, but
am not going to make any challenges. L
am the champion and they can come
to me-"
The contest was the talk of the streets
yesterday. Nearly all agreed that it
was splendid match, the best ever
witnessed in Minneapolis. Very few
of those phenomena1ly smart people
who always cry hippodrone were to be
found, but there were few, Of course.
The sporting men regard the fight as
strictly ON its merits, and as good one
as is likely to be seen during an ordin-
airy lifetime.

DULUTH's PROSPERITY.

The people of Minnesota, without re-
gard to locality, will be particularly
gratitied by the encouraging evidences
OF Duiuth'S prosperity, as set forth in
the last annual report of the Duluth
board of trade, which has just been
made public. 1t is sometimes urged
that these annual reports issued by the
commercial bodies of rapidly growing
cities undergo certain processes of pad
ding and swelling of figures before they
are submitted to the public eye. Ordi-
narlly the suspicion is without founda-
ton, and there is no reason why such
charge should be laid at the door of
the Duluth board of trade. But making
due allowance for any initiating pro-
ceSseS that might have been adopted.
there is still enough of statistical matter
whose genuineneSS cannot be doubted
to indicate that Duluth is enjoying a
marvellous prosperity. Not only is this
prosperity manifest In the increase of
Its population, but it is still more
apparent in the rapid annual increase
III It's trade. The city's commercial
growth has in no sense been spasmodic.
but on the contrary has been steady,
though rapid, and i'll logical proportion
TO its development in other respects.
Commencing with 1871, when the wheat
receipts amounted to only 666, 1888
bushels, there was regular increase in
each years receipts until 1888, when the
amount was 400, SOB. Then came the
big jump, the receipts for 1884 amount
ing to ID, ~. $50 bushels, in 1885 to Ia, $780,
675, and last year went up to p, 424, $50,
or over 100000 bushels more than
Chlcago'S receipts for the same year.
and more than One-fourth of the whole
received at eight of the leading ports.
Ihe coal receipts have increased from
$1,000 tons in 1878 to 732. 900 tons last
year. The Duluth lumber trade. which
has suffered severely for several years
past. has recovered from it's de-
preston and now bids fair TO
surpass its former gigantic proportions.
The cut of the Duluth lumber district
for the past season is estimated at 16O.-
0OO,OO0 feet of lumber, 43, 0O0, 900 shingles
and 22,600,0o0 laths, of which the mills
in tie city Of Duluth have cut over one
third. The only thing in which Duluth
has been found lacking is in the up
building of manufacturing industries.
IN Is singular, too, that there should be
a tagging in this respect, considering
that its facilities are so abundant. Du-
1u!h has all the natural requisites for
manufacturing city. 1t has iron of a
superior quality in abundance, cheap
coal, timber and all building materials,
and Che constituents of all the textile
Fabrics within easy reach. The board
OF trade gives assurance that special eff
forts arc now being made to establish
manufactures and to encourage capital

aboutpolitics except that while in con-
versation with the correspondent in his
cottage at Bar Harbor he said in
regard to the Burchard incident in 1884:
II didn't hear what he said, but the report
ers heard it and next day every paper in the
country had it, of course, but as Il matter of
fact, didn't hear it myself. Way out in In.
diana they had it that said, ''0h, yes" 1t
went all over the state that way. In good
many places in the West they had slips
of paper printed with Read what Mr..
Blaine says ON them and distributed them in
front Of the churches on Sunday. That is
what lost me the election, you know of
course how close it was Well, i'll New York

a good deal more than enough to have car
ried the state, have never felt sure that |
wasn't elected. 1t was u matter of less
than 600 votes to have turned New
York the other way. When it is close as that
there can be no certainty of the count. l
don't think it can be ever said with certainty
which enc of us got the most votes.

Kelly's, which was too easy. Johnston
distinguished himself by putting out six
men and assisting in a double play. He

greeted him with cheer upon cheer as he
came in after each successive play.
White played in poor form, making a
wild throw and muffing thrown ball,
which practically gave the game to the
home team. Radbourn and Baldwin
